Running install.app in Eclipse - Read Only Swing Client

When I tried running Install.app after following the instruction on how to install iDempiere, I can't edit the swing client of idempiere setup...

The problem with not being able to write on this page is I have to find a dirtier way to add the DB Admin Password, but I don't want that. Unfortunately, there were no (at that time) answer to my question, so I decided to ask Redhuan in google groups.

So the answer to my problem is this

-arch x86 

Here's my whole run configurations after adding the line above

So I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. :)

Now I'm able to edit the iDempiere setup.

Installing iDempiere in Mac OsX

First, download iDempiere installation here: http://www.idempiere.org/downloads
NOTE: If Mac installer didn't work for you, download the Linux installer. I'm using the linux installer even though I'm using a Mac.

Setup your path and download the java you need.
If you don't know how to work around your Mac, you can use this blog post as reference to setup path for Postgres and IDEMPIERE_HOME.

But, before a user posted the solution, I was stuck with this problem when I wanted to run setup.sh

===================================
Starting iDempiere Server
===================================
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
usage: dirname path
Unable to access jarfile /plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.*.jar

I've searched high and low, and I can't find any clue as to what I have to do next. I'm new in Mac so my only solution at that time was hope that someone from the community will reply to my problem.

If it was not for this group, I won't be able to solve my problem: iDempiere google groups

Went to brew.sh and followed the instruction on how to install brew
After installing brew, I followed the instruction Orlando (from community) posted

brew install coreutils   

alias readlink=greadlink 

Then finally, change idempiere-server.sh readlink to greadlink

And it worked great!
So I hope this will help you too, as much as it has helped me ;)

Instead of repeating what's in the wiki, I'm just resharing the documentation.

It was a little bit cluttered, but just read it through, you'll be able to understand it. Based on my initial testing last Dec 2014 for modules AR and AP, posting still looks okay and what's being used by iDempiere 2.1 :)

POSTGRESQL WINDOWS X64: ENABLING UUID-OSSP.SQL

This documentation came from this web page: GraceBatumbya
I've posted it here as a back-up, if ever something happens to the website. All credits goes back to the website I mentioned above.

The background to this is that for that for over 6 months now, I have been working on developing a PostgreSQL Adapter for NexJ Express, a part of Open Health Tools. Though most of the development is done in Java, I have also learnt a lot about PostgreSQL.

The Problem:
Although PostgreSQL has a UUID type, the UUID generation is dependent on the UUID-OSSP.sql module which in turn depends on the OSSP-UUID library.

The PostgreSQL installer for Windows includes the UUID-OSSP.sql module for x86 builds but not for x64 builds (lastest version that I checked was PostgreSQL 9.0.4).

When I asked on #postgresql irc channel, one of the things I was told was that there was not OSSP-UUID library build for windows x64.

The Solution: (tested with PG 9.0.4 x64 build)

Turns out that there was a build of OSSP-UUID for x64 windows in the wild. Thanks to Hiroshi Saito, who replied to my message on the pg_general mailing list.

1. Download pg90_uuid_ossp_x64.zip,
2. Unzip the contents of the zip to path/to/PostgreSQL/9.0/
3. Open psql and install uuid-ossp.sql using the command:
   \i 'path/to/PostgeSQL/9.0/share/contrib/uuid-ossp.sql'

Also, Hiroshi provides the source if you interested on compiling OSSP-UUID on x64 windows for yourself.
